A new favorite, and I shouldn't be surprised.

はぐれけだま is an artist. A serious one. A serious, experimental one. 8possible still remains as the most cathartic fangame experience of my life so far, so surreal and yet so close to the heart in all of its cognitive dissonance. Whereas my subjective side states that 8possible is a magnificent game and his best, my objective side insist on the fact that this is the maker's peak of fusing creativity, gimmicks, a dreamlike scenario, suspense, beauty, calmness, physical comedy and creative bosses all the way. It's an adventure like no other. This doesn't make it the best, but it does make it one of the best.

The style is unique, distinguishable from miles away, with the enemy and background sprites he used in 8possible for a dreamland state. This prolonged adventure features exceptional visuals, beginning with simple and minimalistic, and progressing with hypnotic ones, incorporating puzzles in a dreamed adventure that challenges conventionalisms. This is, literally, the spiritual sequel of 8possible, and the subtle WAKE UP! text written in the middle of the game sent chills down my spine.

Atmosphere is key here and it is achieved with so much grace. The ones that stand out for me are the diamonds stage and the cacti/rain stage with a gravity gimmick. When the stages do not shine as entirely original or convincing in their nature, an unusual, fun boss steps in to wrap the segment in an unexpected fashion.

I am a fan of a phrase that has been said to me in multiple circumstances: "It's not about getting to the goal; it's about the process of getting to it." I am paraphrasing, but Morpheus said it better in The Matrix (1999), and I quote: "There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path." This fangame is about walking the path, but it also rewards you with a final boss that, probably as interesting as the majority of them, as others have said, would be absolutely ordinary (and maybe dumb) if it wasn't because of the production value and sound effects. Again: atmosphere is key.

The ending almost moved me to tears, but it did shake me: it's like achieving the act of waking up from a coma which was never achieved, sadly, as the true ending of 8possible implies. The music choices are magnificent and even though the credits state it, I need to know the name of the song during the ending credits, right after the final plot scene.

This is recommended for fangame players in general that are into adventure, but the target mind is a special kind. Those looking for experimental trips and understand that fangames began to be a universe of their own a long time ago, this should be highly rewarding.

Thanks to the maker.

Edit: Thanks to sonicdv for providing the ending credits music! You're a hero.

Fun fangame that uses a gimmick similar to Gene Recombination; when you touch certain points at the screen, it moves around or flips on its side. Has Super Hexagon/Geometry Dash bosses as well, which are also fun. I'd recommend to give this one a shot.

Awesome adventure game. A little bit more on the challenging and long side (similar to boshy) But still pretty amazing.

For: I wanna be the 上下針マスター
100 floor game, i actually dislike only 2 screens, the one with first jump water, where you need to do 4 diamonds with it, and the last one, where you need to jump through 4 gates again and again until you get 1/16 chance to activate final zone, which is actually 2 diamonds, not really hard and for sure easier than a lot of screens before it, but booring. The rest of the game is fun to play and has a lot of variety ideas.
